Heya! This round we'll have a language (Julia) and a toolkit (Docker).
Harlan Harris - Julia
Julia is a high-level, high-performance dynamic programming language designed for technical and numerical computing that has learned the lessons from the successes and limitations of Matlab, C++, R, Python, and more. Features include a simple syntax, multiple dispatch as a fundamental design pattern, fast JIT compilation via LLVM, metaprogramming, easy access to C and Fortran libraries, a sophisticated standard library written mostly in Julia itself, and a rapidly growing package repository.
Eric Noriega - Docker
Docker is a toolset enabling containerization of applications on Linux. We're going to do a quick review of the concepts, show some of the tooling and talk about why developers benefit from using containers, both for DevOps style deployment as well as in their own workflow.
We're just getting started so we're looking for people to speak. It's ok if you've never spoken before or if you've spoken hundreds of times, we want to hear from you!
We're looking for talks about anything interesting to programmers, come share about your favorite language or framework, or learn something new and talk about how it went! We're hoping for talks about anything but here are a few things members have mentioned wanting to learn about recently: Go, C, C++, Haskell, Erlang, and Elixir.
My presentation (iPython Notebooks) can be viewed here: http://nbviewer.ipython.org/github/HarlanH/JuliaPolygotPresentation/blob/master/JuliaPolyglotPresentation.ipynb and here: https://github.com/HarlanH/JuliaPolygotPresentation/blob/master/Meetup%20API%20and%20VennEuler.ipynb You should be able to download and run the first (after installing the appropriate Julia packages). The second requires cloning the in-development VennEuler.jl package, and creating an apikey file with your Meetup.com API key. Thanks for coming everyone!

"Doc" Smith lost no time in putting the most modern technology into his novels. The science-fictional YB-49 Flying Wing had just been tested the year before.
Here's an excerpt from a company article describing the revolutionary Flying Wing aircraft:

text: Ancillary to Mike Holstein, IMO for audio it's important that the graphics is passiv, no fan, no noise. Even for 3D animation any slow 3D support is fast enough. The power supply should have a large and slow fan. Take care to buy silent HHDs. I've got a question too. I'm searching for an audio device. I've got two Terratec EWX 24/96 PCI cards and I don't like the muddy sound. For sure, it might not only be the cards that produce this sound, I guess it also has to do with issues for Linux audio, but OTOH those issues might have to do with a less good driver, jackd or something else for Envy24 cards, I dunno. Perhaps the audio device should cost less than 1000,- EUR or better less, than 500,- EUR. I would prefer 4 or more IOs, but just 2 IOs would be ok too. The most important things to me are - no issues with Linux - a good sound quality, at least as good as good consumer hifi equipment - very, very, low latency to fight jitter for MIDI recordings - if possible 4 IOs or more, but 2 IOs are ok, if the sound and handling is ok

Darek Jon Nelson, 24, of Montevideo, made his first appearance in Chippewa County District Court in Montevideo on Tuesday at 11 a.m.
Nelson is being held on $750,000 bail, charged with the fatal stabbing on Jan. 13 of Vinessa Victoria Lozano, 18, also of Montevideo.
Nelson faces charges of murder in the second degree, manslaughter in the first degree, and two counts of assault in the second degree (the first on Lozano and the second on Daniel O'Malley, a Pizza Ranch co-worker who attempted to come to Lozano's aid during the alleged assault).
According to the complaint filed in District Court, Nelson said, following his arrest, Lozano was "the second dearest person to me."
The complaint went on to state that Nelson stated that he first thought about killing Lozano the night of Jan. 8, and over the course of the next few days, made a plan that he would bring his hunting knife to work on Friday, and if she treated him badly, he was going to kill her.
Funeral services for Lozano will be held Saturday at 11 a.m. at Community Bible Church in Montevideo. Visitation will be held from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the church.
For more information on this story pick up Jan. 19 copy of the Montevideo American-News

Hardwood Floors here in the Inn
Dubuque, IA was the lead mining captital of the world until the mid 1860's. As a result of this it was the law/common paractice around these parts up until the late 1800's that people use soft woods for their floors and save the hardwood for the lead mine shafts. The Mandolin Inn (Nicholas Schrup home) was built in 1908 and is one of the few historic homes in either Dubuque or Galena that has hardwood floors. Schrup was knighted by the King of Belgium in 1920 and wanted everyone that entered the home to know that he was Sir Schrup – note the German Cross Medallians on the Grand Hall floor. During the varied uses of the home over the course of time the beautiful wooden floors often had rugs glued on them in order to protect the wood – particularly during the period when it was a half-way house for juvenile delinquents and later when it was a college apartment/frat house. The nuns glued tile over the hardwood floor of the Ballroom so that the novice nuns could live there. The ballroom floor remains tile covered as it is currently used as a storage attic.

Architectural Walking Tour of the Jackson Park and West Eleventh Historic Districts – The Mandolin Inn is site #22
This tour starts on the hilltops that are part of the West 11th Historic District and then works its way to downtown. It takes 2 to 2 ½ hours. The hilltops do not have metered parking, whereas the downtown streets do, so you might want to leave your car on the hill and walk back to it at the end of the tour. Start at the corner of 11th and Prairie Streets. Local lore has Amelia Earhart spending a night at 596 W 11th in the 1930's. #1. 1295 (O) + 1209 Prairie Street (O, P) The exact building date of 1295 Prairie Street is not known, but some city records give the date as 1871. However, it is likely that Susan Lawrence, who owned the property since 1856, built the house before then. Gideon T. Stewart, proprietor of the Daily Times, bought the property in 1863 and city directories of the time note him living "on the bluff" and "on McDaniel's Hill". Former owners believed that the home was designed by A.O. Holland, based on similarities to the home he designed at 1298 Mount Pleasant Street. In 1880, James Wallis, wholesaler of dry goods and notions, purchased the house as a wedding present for his son and daughter-in-law, John W. and Mary Burton Wallis. The home remained in the Wallis family until 1947 and is still referred to as the Wallis home. Major additions took place in 1880, 1899, 1900, 1904, and 1910. The library ceiling and adjoining staircase wall have murals executed by Danish artist August Rasmussen around 1900. Roger and Paula Stenlund purchased the home in 1982 and spend the next 18 years restoring and remodeling it. They added a double garage in 1991 and a family room/sunroom two years later. The current owners have lived there since 2002. The central, square unit of 1209 Prairie Street with symmetrical windows, central entrance hall, massive columns, and low pitched roof are examples of the Federal style and was built around 1856 by H.S. Hetherington, one-time mayor. He purchased the land from Alfred McDaniel, who developed most of this area of Dubuque. The two story wing was added in 1869 and the sunporch in 1914. Prominent Dubuquer P.W. Crawford owned the home early in the 20th century. For 75 years, the McDonald family occupied the home. A.Y. McDonald established a manufacturing company after the Civil War and invented the monkey wrench and other tools for which he held patents. A native of Kentucky, Alfred McDaniel came to Dubuque in 1836 and immediately began to speculate in real estate. McDaniel eventually owned most of the land west of Main Street between 8th and 14th street, which he subdivided into building lots in 1853. McDaniel's subdivision today comprises the heart of the West 11th Street Historic District. Other socially and economically prominent Dubuque landowners associated with the development of the West 11th neighborhood include Jesse P. Farley, Henry S. Hetherington, and the first F.E.

Nintendo losing millions as gamers wait for Wii U
Nintendo is continuing to haemorrhage money despite an increase in Nintendo 3DS hardware and software sales.
The Japanese gaming giant has released its first-quarter financial results for the period ending June 30 2012. Though the number of Nintendo 3DS handheld consoles rose to 162 per cent compared to the same quarter a year before and the Nintendo 3DS software increased to 63 per cent, both the Nintendo Wii and original Nintendo DS failed to reach a million units sold in the same time frame, as gamers are opting instead to wait for the new Wii U - or so Nintendo hopes.
According to the company, it sold just 540,000 Nintendo DS consoles and 1.86 million Nintendo 3DS consoles in the last 90 days. In comparison Apple sold three million iPod Touch devices in the same period - number it said was down on previous quarters.
If that wasn't enough of a woe for the Japanese games company, It managed to sell only 710,000 Nintendo Wii consoles, a number that puts it considerably behind Microsoft's Xbox 360 and the PS3.
So what now for Nintendo? The company has announced that from 25 July it will no longer be selling Nintendo 3DS hardware below manufacturing costs. Don't fret, the price isn't about to go up, just that the company has reduced its own manufacturing costs, but this is hardly likely to turn the company around.
Of course a lot will depend on the success of the Nintendo Wii U, with the company promising a pre-Christmas arrival. However sceptics are already suggesting that the console will be the equivalent of Sega's Dreamcast, the console that eventually pushed the company out of the hardware business to focus on games and eventually apps for the iPhone and iPad.
Nintendo is a long way from that right now, but if the company's results continue to slide we might be in a situation where we see Mario on the iPhone or on Android sooner rather than later.
What do you think the future holds for Nintendo? Let us know in the comments below...

'The Bomber' challenges for his first professional title on Saturday night (April 13) when faces tough Andrei Abramenka for the International Boxing Federation (IBF) Youth middleweight crown.
Tickets for the show were in such hot demand that all 2,000 seats at Ponds Forge were sold with more than a month to go. And Etches believes the next step is a headline slot at Sheffield's 12,000 capacity Motorpoint Arena.
"I'd like to think after a couple more of these type of shows, my fan base will have grown so much the Arena is the only place I can box at," Etches, 22, said. "It's all about building upwards, everyone enjoying it and me doing a good job in the ring. Afterwards everything will fall into place.
"That said, filling Ponds Forge is something in itself. I don't think there's many boxers at my sort of level who'd be able to do that."
Abramenka represents a significant step up in class for the Yorkshireman. The Belarusian stylist has won 18 of 22 contests and has gone the full 12 round distance with former European welterweight champion Matthew Hatton and highly-rated Russian prospect Aslanbek Kozaev.
Etches said: "I've got to be on my game because Abramenka's young, he's hungry and he's only lost twice on points after 20-odd fights. I've watched clips of him on Youtube and I saw him when he boxed Matthew Hatton, but I tend not to look too much into it because it'll be a different Abramenka when he fights me.
"I'm expecting tough fight and I'm training like it's for a full world title."
Also in action on Saturday will be fellow unbeaten prospects Scott Jenkins, Atif Shafiq, Sam O'Maison, Kris Davey, Leigh Wood, Josh McLaren and Andy Keates.
Saturday night's bill is promoted by Richard Poxon in support of the Weston Park Hospital Cancer Charity and Cavendish Cancer Care.

The last half of the twentieth century saw the advent of a new conservative movement in the United States, a coalition that shared a common determination to redefine the American government, culture, and economy. In this volume Ronald Story and Bruce Laurie present a rich variety of primary sources, including speeches, cartoons, party platforms, and editorials, that speak to the remarkable impact of the conservative movement, from its solvent think tanks to its grassroots support. Outspoken intellectuals such as William F. Buckley and George Gilder, charismatic political figures such as George Wallace, Barry Goldwater, and Ronald Reagan, and powerful organizations like the Southern Baptist Convention and the National Rifle Association weigh in on such issues as the death penalty, taxation, gun control, affirmative action, abortion, and foreign policy. The authors' lucid introduction traces America's turn to the right from the demise of New Deal liberalism to the election of George W. Bush in 2000, examining the conservatives' motivations and strategies and the key events that fostered the rise of conservative attitudes. Each document is preceded by a headnote, helping students understand how the author and his or her line of thinking fit into the story of the movement. A timeline, questions for consideration, and a list of suggested readings also aid comprehension of the material.

The invention relates to a method and apparatus for controlling lighting fixtures and, more particularly, to a method and apparatus for alerting occupants in a lighted area that the timing cycle of the lighting fixtures is due to expire.
Many recreational facilities require a significant number of lighting fixtures for adequate illumination and, therefore, use a significant amount of power to operate the fixtures. To reduce power consumed to light these facilities, a number of facilities use lighting control systems which control when the lighting fixtures are energized. For example, a step-dimming system, such as the two-level lighting control system disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,216,333 to Nuckolls, can be used to switch facility fixtures between energy saving, low-level or reduced wattage operation, and full-level or normal wattage operation in accordance with output signals from a motion sensor. Step-dimming systems can respond to other conditions besides occupancy levels such as ambient light level, time and manual switching. U.S. Pat. No. 4,713,598 to Smith discloses another device for controllably switching an AC line to energize a load. The device uses a passive infrared (PIR) detector to sense motion.
However, PIR sensors do not work well in outdoor conditions. Temperature and sun light can affect the sensing ability of these types of sensors. Additionally, timing devices can be used; however, it can be difficult to set a suitable time out (TO) period. For example, it is difficult to anticipate the amount of time period an occupant needs a facility and preprogram a corresponding time out period. This problem is particularly apparent with respect to recreational facilities because the time a user requires a recreational facility can vary depending on the users, and the game or event.
Another problem with existing lighting control devices is that the end user does not know when illumination of lighting fixtures, which are subject to time out operation, will end. For instance, if an end user reserves a facility for two hours and does not monitor the amount of time that has elapsed, the illumination of the facility may terminate unexpectedly, creating sufficient darkness in the facility to make it difficult for the end user to find the lighting control and reset the timer.
Another problem with existing lighting control devices is that they only interface with a low voltage two-wire lighting fixture. There presently is no lighting control device that interfaces with a high voltage two-wire lighting fixture.
Therefore, a lighting control system is needed to provide time out periods that can be used outdoors, as well as indoors, that is not subject to temperature or extraneous lighting conditions, that can be reset by an end user before a facility goes dark and that is easy to operate by the end user. It would also be useful to have a lighting control system that can interface with fixtures in either of an industrial or commercial power system (e.g. 480 VAC) and a residential power system (e.g., 120 VAC).
An apparatus and method for controlling a plurality of lighting fixtures are provided. The apparatus comprises a start controller for providing power to the plurality of lighting fixtures. A control power timer is connected to the start controller for providing a first time period for illumination of the plurality of lighting fixtures, wherein the start controller is operable to interrupt power to the plurality of lighting fixtures when the first time period expires. A control timer is connected to the control power timer for providing a second time period for illumination of the plurality of lighting fixtures, wherein the second time period commences and then elapses before the end of the first time period. A control flasher is connected to the control timer for alternating the plurality of lighting fixtures between a high power state and a low power state during the second time period for illumination. An end user is alerted to the termination of the illumination of the plurality of lighting fixtures before termination occurs.
The details of the present invention can be readily understood by considering the following detailed description in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a switched level activity monitor (SLAM) constructed in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a front view of an exemplary face panel box for the SLAM depicted in FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 depicts an exemplary configuration for circuit components of the SLAM within the panel box;
FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of the SLAM of FIG. 1 and its components in FIG. 3; and
FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of a SLAM constructed in accordance with another embodiment of the present invention.
To facilitate understanding, identical reference numerals have been used, where possible, to designate identical elements that are common to the figures.
Although the present invention is described for use in recreational facilities, the present invention can be used in other types of facilities and still fall within the scope of this invention. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the term recreational facilities includes, but is not limited to, tennis courts, batting ranges, golf driving ranges, and the like. In addition, the present invention can be practiced at indoor and/or outdoor facilities.
FIG. 1 depicts a circuit schematic diagram of a switched level activity monitor (SLAM) circuit in accordance with a first embodiment of the present invention. The SLAM 100 comprises a power source 102, a power switch 104, a start controller 106, a first relay 108 operable in conjunction with the start controller 106, a keylock power switch 110, a light emitting diode (LED) 112, a control power timer 114, an override switch 116 operable in conjunction with the control power timer 114, a control timer 118, a resistor 120, a control flasher 122, a second relay 124 operable in conjunction with the control flasher 122, a hot line 126, a neutral line 128, a contactor control hot line 130, a contactor control neutral line 132, a fixture control hot line 134 and a fixture control neutral line 136.
The operation of the SLAM 100 will now be described. The power source 102 is connected to the neutral line 128 and to the hot line 26 via the power switch 104. Thus, when power is supplied to the circuit via power source 102, the SLAM 100 receives power when the power switch 104 is closed.
In one embodiment, the SLAM 100 can interface with a commercial or industrial power system (e.g., 480 VAC) voltage line and control a plurality of lights (not shown). SLAM 100 can be used in a high intensity discharge (HID) dimming system. However, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the present invention may be used in other types of lighting systems.
In still another embodiment of the invention, SLAM 100 can interface with a low voltage line and control a plurality of lights. SLAM 100 controls the plurality of lights directly in both the high voltage and low voltage applications. No intermediate device is required.
In addition to being the main power switch for SLAM 100, the power switch 104 is also the main power switch for the lighting fixtures (not shown) being controlled by the SLAM 100. By closing power switch 104, power is supplied to contactor control hot line 130 and contactor control neutral line 132 which are respectively connected to hot line 126 and neutral line 128. The two contactor control lines 130, 132, in turn, are connected to a control coil (not shown) of lighting contactors that are attached to the lights being powered. Specifically, closing power switch 104 causes power to be supplied to the lights.
Start controller 106 is connected to neutral line 128 via pin 3, to hot line 126 via pin 3, and to keylock power switch 110 and first relay 108 via pin 1. When power switch 104 is closed, the start controller causes the first relay 108 to close which, in turn, causes power to be delivered to the fixture control hot line 134 and fixture control neutral line 136. The two fixture control lines 134, 136 are connected to a bi-level relay (not shown) which is in each one of the plurality of lights. Accordingly, the SLAM 100 controls the bi-level relays in the plurality of lights.
The start controller 106 is preferably a 15 minute "start-at-high" controller. Light manufacturers require an initial 15 minute interval before full power is applied to the plurality of lights for warranty reasons. Start controller 106 is only reset if there is an interruption in power to the SLAM 100. For example, if there is an electrical outage, start controller 106 will be reset, and the plurality of lights will be allowed to warm up for 15 minutes when power is restored. After the initial, timed warm-up period, the lights can return to the low power state, and the main control function is enabled.
The keylock power switch 110 serves as a manual override. Closing the contacts of keylock power switch 110 closes first relay 108. Thus, there is no ability to use the timing features of the SLAM 100 since power is applied directly to first relay 108 and not via the start controller 106. Therefore, the plurality of lights remain at full power until keylock power switch 110 is turned off. Keylock power switch 110 can be useful for maintenance purposes, special events or for the initial burn-in of new lights, among other uses.
In the present embodiment of the invention, first relay 108 and second relay 124 are in parallel. Either relay being powered can cause the fixture control lines 134, 136 to go high. The two relays operate as a logical "or" gate. Therefore, the closing of either or both of the relays results in the fixture control lines 134, 136 going high.
The closing of either power switch 104 and/or keylock power switch 110 applies power to LED 112, which is bridged across hot line 126 and neutral line 128 and provides a visual indication that the SLAM 100 is receiving power.
The control power timer 114 is connected to the hot line 126 via pin 1, and pin 3 is connected to the neutral line 128. Pin 4 is connected to over-ride switch 116 which is, in turn, connected to neutral line 128. Pin 2 is connected to pin 1 of control timer 118. Pin 2 of control power timer 114 is also connected to second relay 124 which is, in turn, connected to pin 1 of control flasher 122. Pin 3 of control timer 118 is connected to the neutral line 128 and to resistor 120 which is also connected to pin 2 of control timer 118 and to pin 3 of control flasher 122. Pin 2 of control flasher 122 is connected to the neutral line 128.
Resistor 120 can be a power resistor. The resistor 120 drains excess charge which may build up when solid state devices such as control timer 118 and control flasher 122 are connected together. Specifically, resistor 120 maintains the proper operation of the two devices and prevents faults such as residual charge build up from occurring and turning on the two devices improperly.
When power is applied to SLAM 100 and power switch 104 is closed, power is supplied to the contactor control lines 130, 132. After a 15 minute warm up period, start controller 106 closes first relay 108. The control power timer 114 operates the main timing for the SLAM 100. Its timing is adjustable to provide the desired duration of a lighting cycle. Timing adjustment can be implemented via manual initiation by a user using, for example, a push button switch (not shown) connected to the timer 114 or the override switch 116. Accordingly, the plurality of lights are operated for a variable amount of time based on the setting of the control timer 114. The time setting or "lighting cycle" may vary from 15 minutes to 100 minutes. More specifically, the plurality of lights can operate at full power or "high" during the lighting cycle and then go to a no power or low light setting condition when the lighting cycle has elapsed. However, those skilled in the art will appreciate that a timer having a length of time different from the above mentioned timer may be substituted and still fall within the scope of the present invention.
The power timer 114 also serves to operate control timer 118 directly and control flasher 122 indirectly. Prior to the lighting cycle expiring, the power timer 114 commences a delay period corresponding to a period of time before the expiration of the lighting cycle during which the lights are flashed to indicate to a user that the lighting cycle is about to expire. Power timer 114 activates control timer 118 at the beginning of the delay period via pin 1 of control timer 118. Control timer 118 is a delay-on-make-interval type relay and delays closing its relay for some pre-set time, then closes for a pre-set interval, then reopens again. The control timer 118 activates the control flasher 122 for the delay period whereby the control flasher 122 applies power to second relay 124 closing the second relay 124 which, as previously discussed above, brings the plurality of lights to full power. During normal operation, the plurality of lights operate at full power during the lighting cycle. However, in accordance with an aspect of the present invention, one of the pins of the control flasher 122 is switched to neutral via control timer 118. Control flasher 122 being a dual mode relay, acts a flasher oscillating its output from high to low. Second relay 124, in turn, oscillates from high to low via pin 1 of control flasher 122. The plurality of lights, in response to second relay 122 oscillating from high to low, also oscillate from high to low during the delay period. The oscillation from high to low during the delay period alerts the user of the recreational facility that the period for illumination of the recreational facility is about to expire. The user, therefore, has until the delay period expires to reset the power timer 114 via the push button switch.
In a first embodiment of the present invention, an end user may press over ride switch 116 during the delay period which will cause power timer 114 to begin a new period of illumination once the delay period ends, that is, the original period of illumination will expire based on power timer 114 finishing its time period. A new period of illumination cannot begin until the original period of illumination comes to an end based on power timer 114 finishing its timing cycle to completion.
In another embodiment of the present invention, an end user presses override switch 116 during the delay period, which causes power timer 114 to begin a new period of illumination instantly before the delay period expires. Specifically, the power timer 114 resets its timer during the delay period initiating a new period of illumination.
It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that according to the teachings of the present invention, the end user has control over the period of illumination. The end user may use the facility for the initial period of illumination or may seek to extend the period of illumination. The end user is alerted to the need to extend the period of illumination via the flashing of lights as opposed to being in a facility and finding oneself to be in the dark once the period of illumination has expired.
The SLAM 100 circuit preferably includes the components listed in the following table:
Power Switch
15 Minute Solid State Timer
120 Volt Relay
Key Switch
125 Volt Light Emitting Diode
Adjustable Delay-On-Make Timer
Push Button Switch
Adjustable Delay-On-Make Timer
10K Ohm 20 Watt Resistor
Adjustable Dual Mode
120 Volt Relay
Turning now to FIG. 2, an exemplary layout for a face panel box 200 for the SLAM 100 is depicted. The buttons, switches and LED are structured and arranged to allow an end user and/or facility owner or maintenance person easy access to the switches, buttons and LED. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the buttons, switch and LED can be arranged in a different arrangement and still fall within the scope of the invention. For instance, power switch 104 is displayed on the face of the box 200. However, the invention may be practiced where access to power switch 104 may require opening the box 200 with a key. This may prevent end users who do not have legal access to the facility from turning on the lights of the facility without having a key to box 200.
FIG. 3 depicts a diagram showing an exemplary layout for the SLAM 100 within the panel box 200. FIG. 3 includes all of the components of FIG. 1 in addition to power terminal block 138, power bus block 140 and contact terminal block 142. The main power source is connected to power terminal block 138. In turn power terminal block 138 is connected to contact terminal block 142, power bus block 140, contactor control neutral line 132, contactor control hot line 130 and fixture control hot line 134 (see FIG. 4). The components for the SLAM 100 circuit are supplied power via the power bus terminal 140 and contact terminal block 142.
Turning to FIG. 5, an alternative embodiment for SLAM 100 is depicted. Specifically, FIG. 5 depicts a programmable processor 300 suitable for use in the SLAM 100 circuit. The programmable processor 300 comprises a microprocessor 302, as well as memory 304 for storing programs for various timing functions. The microprocessor 302 cooperates with conventional support circuitry 306 such as power supplies, clock circuits and the like, as well as circuits that assist in executing the timer functions of the present invention. A user interface device 310 such as a keypad is provided to enter selected time out periods.
The programmable processor 300 also comprises input/output circuitry 308 that forms an interface between the microprocessor 302, first relay 108, second relay 124, contactor control hot line 130, contactor control neutral line 132, fixture control hotline 134, fixture control neutral line 136 and override switch 116. The input/output circuitry 308 can interface with lines 130, 132, 134 and 136 extending to different groups of light fixtures such that these groups can be programmed to operated independently of each other and in accordance with different lighting cycles and delay periods that are programmed from a single, convenient control point (e.g., via the user interface 310).
Although the programmable processor 300 is depicted as a general purpose computer that is programmed to perform the timer functions of start controller 106, control power timer 114, control timer 118 and control flasher 122 in accordance with the present invention, the invention can be implemented in hardware, in software, or a combination of hardware and software. As such, the timer functions described above with respect to the various figures are intended to be broadly interpreted as being equivalently performed by software, hardware, or a combination thereof.
Those skilled in the art can now appreciate from the foregoing description that the broad teachings of the present invention can be implemented in a variety of forms. Therefore, while this invention can be described in connection with particular examples thereof, the true scope of the invention should not be so limited since other modifications will become apparent to the skilled practitioner upon a study of the drawings, specification and the following claims.

A district court has finally issued an order for schools in the school district of Cleveland, Mississippi to desegregate.
This decision comes 50 years after a group of 131 students and their parents filed an action suit against Bolivar County, which is now known as the Cleveland School District, claiming that the county was still operating schools "on a racially segregated basis," according to a report from CNN.
The decision also comes 62 years after the Supreme Court made a ruling saying that segregation is unconstitutional but despite that, schools in the town of Cleveland are still segregated as black and white, with the now-defunct Illinois Central Railroad tracks serving as the dividing line. The CNN report cited the court opinion that came with the order, which said that "half of Cleveland's schools – the schools on the east side of the railroad tracks enroll a student body that is at least 20 percent more white than the student population." more >>
Chicago Public Schools have introduced new guidelines in support of transgender students, threatening to punish employees or students who purposefully use the wrong terms when addressing transgender people.
"The guidelines released today will help ensure every student and adult in the CPS family can participate in an environment of complete tolerance and respect," CPS Chief Education Officer Janice K. Jackson said in a statement.
Jackson argued that the United States has become "far more aware of the needs and experiences of the transgender community," and CPS' guidelines reflect the commitment "to fostering healthy and supportive learning opportunities across the District so that each of our students can reach their full potential." more >>
Pastor Perry Noble of NewSpring Church in South Carolina says he's now being described as "ignorant" and "hateful" as an Evangelical Christian who opposes President Obama's transgender bathroom directive to public schools.
Noble said in a Facebook video posted on Monday that after he spoke out against Obama's directive, people have told him things like "This is why I don't go to church; evangelicals are intolerant," and said that he even got called a "hater."
The megachurch leader responded to those accusations by saying: "I don't believe what our president did was right. And it's not because I hate anyone. It's because I am trying my best to be a follower of Jesus Christ, and live according to His teachings. Now, understand something, I fall short every day. I am casting no stones, and I believe that no one is perfect." more >>
President Obama's transgender bathroom directive to public schools has been condemned by the chairmen of two U.S. Catholic bishops' committees, who called it "deeply disturbing" and argued that it contradicts "basic understanding of human formation" when it comes to gender.
"The guidance fails to address a number of important concerns and contradicts a basic understanding of human formation so well expressed by Pope Francis: that 'the young need to be helped to accept their own body as it was created,'" read the statement by Bishop Richard J. Malone of Buffalo, New York, who is chairman of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops' Committee on Laity, Marriage, Family Life and Youth, and Archbishop George J. Lucas of Omaha, Nebraska, who is chairman of the USCCB's Committee on Catholic Education.
The directive in question, issued by the U.S. Departments of Education and Justice on Friday, called on students at public schools to be allowed to use the bathroom of their choosing, rather than the bathroom of their birth gender, should a parent or guardian notify a school's district to state that the student's identity "differs from previous representations or records." more >>
Experts believe that if the Obama administration successfully forces public schools across the country to grant transgender students access to bathrooms and locker rooms designated for the opposite biological sex, it could lead to an increase in the number of students who are homeschooled or attend private schools.
Last Friday, the departments of Education and Justice sent a directive to all public school districts in the United States telling them that they must allow transgender students into bathrooms, locker rooms and showers that are consistent with their gender identity. If school districts refuse, they could be at risk of losing millions of dollars in federal education funding.
A number of conservative states and school districts have already indicated that they won't obey the edict and will contest in court if the federal government tries to enforce it. Meanwhile, other school districts will obey the order and let biological boys into girls bathrooms, showers and locker rooms, and vice versa. more >>
At least five states have so far indicated they will contest an Obama administration directive sent to all United States public school districts that tries to coerce them into allowing students to access bathrooms based upon their gender identity rather than biological sex.
The departments of Justice and Education warned school districts last Friday that if they don't allow transgender students to use bathrooms and locker rooms consistent with their gender identity, they could lose millions in federal education funding.
Even before the administration's order was sent out to the school districts, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott asserted Thursday night during his speech at Texas' GOP Convention in Dallas that he will work to fight any attempt at coercion from the Obama administration on the transgender bathroom issue. more >>

Paul Ryan Gets Testy And Ends Interview
When asked about guns and taxes in an interview with ABC12 in Flint, Michigan. Campaign: "Eventually you're going to see a local reporter embarrass himself."
Update: Ryan spokesman Brendan Buck tells BuzzFeed: "The reporter knew he was already well over the allotted time for the interview when he decided to ask a weird question relating gun violence to tax cuts. Ryan responded as anyone would in such a strange situation. When you do nearly 200 interviews in a couple months, eventually you're going to see a local reporter embarrass himself."

All the ads are very bold and do get the point across, but they certainly don't win any points for taste.
Not sure that it really helps, but a better translation of the copy is:
(Our) smells don't mingle/mix
so we're not afraid to get close
A new generation of smell retaining food wrap
新一代方串味保鲜膜 (Chinese is more like anti odor-absorption/contamination)
Dawn fresh wrap

I predict few comments will appear for this blog.
If anything this is a welcome back blog to myself. I've taken a long break (which was supposed to be a permanent goodbye), and I've figured out how to make this work.
Before I thought I always needed something game related. Why I thought this I don't know. I've seen many posts on here about music, politics, art, school, etc. But I always felt a need to write only about games.
But no longer.
I've been writing poems in the middle of classes (obviously senior year is stimulating my participation), and I thought I needed feedback on them. I didn't want to bug my teachers everyday to receive their opinion on my writing and I can only take so much school.
So why not receive gamers opinions? I mostly hear members of the gaming community's comments on games. Why not see what perspective they can bring to another area.
So if I can get 1up members to read my poems, I will be be immensely pleased. I may send out new friend invites or messages saying I'm back to get some interest in this.
I look forward to joining the 1up community once again with a different voice and perspective than I had before my break.

Simon Miles
MA, London School of Economics and Political Science; BA, University of Toronto
Ph.D. Candidate
Cold War diplomatic history; International history; Nuclear history
I am an international historian researching the end of the Cold War.
I am a Ph.D. Candidate in the History Department and a Fellow at the William P. Clements Jr. Center for National Security at the University of Texas at Austin. During the 2014–2016 academic years, I am a Visiting Fellow at the Bill Graham Centre for Contemporary International History at the University of Toronto's Munk School of Global Affairs.
Using recently declassified archival materials from around the globe, my dissertation project explores the causes of one of the most important international political changes of the twentieth century.
I am a graduate of the London School of Economics and Political Science and the University of Toronto.
Engaging the 'Evil Empire': US-Soviet Relations in the Second Cold War
Question. Between 1980 and 1985, the Cold War rivalry between the United States and the Soviet Union underwent unexpected and profound change, so much so that scholars regularly use the case as an example of longstanding rivals setting aside prior disagreements and beginning to cooperate. What explains these shifts in strategy? Why would the United States and Soviet Union — or any great powers — begin cooperating after an extended period of intense rivalry?
Implications. In adding to the historiography of the Reagan administration and the end of the Cold War, my project challenges the prominent scholarly and policy wisdom according to which strong, rising states will become more aggressive at the expense of weak, declining states. Precisely the opposite occurred in superpower relations during the first half of the 1980s: US economic recovery and military superiority emboldened Reagan to cooperate with Moscow (albeit without making major concessions) at the very moment when shifts in the distribution of power enabled the White House to ignore Soviet concerns with increasing impunity. The case of US-Soviet relations from 1980 to 1985 thus helps us to understand the larger phenomenon of why states engage in diplomatic bargaining to achieve their aims, rather than resorting to naked coercion.
Methodology. My project makes use of newly accessible archival materials from both sides of the Iron Curtain to situate US foreign policy in a broader framework. Though I am a historian of US foreign relations and the majority of my evidence comes from US archives, I have also conducted extensive research in the archives of Czechoslovakia, East Germany, and the Soviet Union, which has enabled me to incorporate evidence from the highest levels of Soviet and Warsaw Pact policy-making in my analysis. Furthermore, my research in the archives of key US allies — Canada, France, the United Kingdom, and West Germany — offers insights into their respective perceptions of decisions made in Washington and their sense of the changing nature of US-Soviet relations. This commitment to international, multi-lingual research is at the core of my dissertation project and of my approach to teaching and writing policy-relevant history.
I have experience teaching courses on US foreign relations and the history of espionage at universities in the United States and Canada. Further teaching references are available upon request; please feel free to contact me.

It's a good idea that you have decided to see a gynecologist. Every single woman should see a gynecologist, as it is one of the important things that we should all do.
Seeing a gynaecologist for the most part will include doing a pap smear, a pelvic examination, and usually a breast examination. These of course are really important, as they really can determine the kind of life that you are going to have.
Some of these exams can be a bit uncomfortable, but of course it's important to do them. You might have moments of confusion, or not able to understand what is going on, and you should ask the doctor to explain the things that you do not understand and why.

- In the case that I get pregnant, would you be able to deliver my baby?
- Which are the hospitals that you are affiliated with in the area?
- If I have a medical emergency and I needed to consult with you, how soon would I be able to to?
- Are you available at night? Are you available during the weekend?
- Are there any specific areas of a woman reproductive health that you specialize in or that you are more comfortable in?
